Allison Wolfe

Allison Wolfe is a singer, songwriter, writer, and podcaster known for her foundational role in the riot grrrl movement, bringing feminist punk to the forefront. After co-founding the seminal punk rock band Bratmobile in 1991 with Molly Neuman and Erin Smith, Allison Wolfe established herself as a powerful voice at the forefront of the riot grrrl movement. Before bringing these themes to her music, Wolfe, through Bratmobile, addressed sexism in rock music via their influential punkzines, ‘Girl Germs’ and ‘Riot Grrrl.’ The band made a significant early impact, performing at the International Pop Underground Convention in Olympia, Washington, in August 1991, before releasing their debut album, ‘Pottymouth,’ in 1992 through Kill Rock Stars. Following Bratmobile’s initial disbandment in 1994, Wolfe continued her prolific musical output.

Beyond her extensive musical contributions, Wolfe has diversified her creative endeavors. She earned a Master’s degree in arts journalism from the University of Southern California and has contributed her writing to prestigious publications such as The Washington Post. Since 2017, Wolfe has further extended her reach into media as the host of the acclaimed podcast ‘I’m In The Band,’ where she features in-depth interviews with prominent punk and indie rock artists.
